The robot, the elevator riding device and the central server communicate with each other through a low-power-consumption and wide-coverage network Narrow-Band Internet of things (Narrow Band Internet of things) or enhanced machine communication (eMTC).
In a conventional robot elevator taking method, a robot enters an elevator to take the elevator together with other passengers, and an elevator controller controls the elevator to reach a destination floor to which the robot arrives. Therefore, the space of the elevator is narrow, if a passenger in the elevator still can take the elevator after avoiding the passenger, the passenger does not know how to avoid the passenger because the passenger and the robot do not have any information interaction or insufficient interaction information, and the service robot does not have good interaction capability, so that an effective avoidance prompt cannot be made, both sides wait for the other side to act, and more time is wasted in the waiting process or the robot fails to take the elevator.
Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides a robot ladder-taking method, and aims to solve the technical problems in the prior art.
The following describes an exemplary method for taking a robot into a ladder according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 2, a schematic flowchart of a robot elevator taking method according to an embodiment of the present application is provided. The embodiment relates to a concrete implementation process of taking a ladder by a robot. The method comprises the following steps:
s101: when the elevator door is opened, the projection device is triggered to project a visible projection area onto the ground in the elevator.
In this embodiment, the robot travels to a predetermined waiting area for the elevator to ride on, waits for the elevator, and projects a visible projection area onto the ground within the elevator in response to triggering the onboard projection device when it is detected that the elevator doors are open. The projection area may be a projection aperture, a projection pattern, which may be circular, triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, or other polygonal shape. The projection pattern can be a pattern comprising a contour, and the pattern can be a pattern with a character with a prompt for avoiding, and can be a color pattern or a black and white pattern.
S102: a first image is acquired that includes the projected area.
In this embodiment, after the projection device of the robot projects the projection area, a first image including the projection area is acquired in response to starting the camera device. The camera means may be a depth camera.
When the brightness of the environment in the elevator is lower than a preset brightness value, the brightness is increased to make the acquired first image clearer, and filtering operation is performed on the excessively dark image noise, for example, the acquired first image is processed based on high-pass filtering and median filtering to filter the image noise.
S103: and detecting and confirming the position of the projection area in the first image.
In this embodiment, the position of the projection area in the first image is detected and confirmed according to the position of the predetermined waiting area of the robot and the projection initial angle. For example, the position of the projection area in the first image is the middle of the image, the lower left corner of the image, the upper left corner of the image, the lower right corner of the image, or the upper right corner of the image.
S104: detecting a connected domain in the projection area according to the determined position of the projection area, and calculating to obtain the area of the connected domain; the communication area is the area of a projection area which is not occupied by the barrier in the projection area.
In this embodiment, when the projection area is unoccupied, the connected domain of the projection area corresponds to the projection area, i.e., the projection area not occupied by the obstacle, and the corresponding connected domain area is the elevator area occupied when the robot travels to the projection area. The detection and extraction of the connected domain have a plurality of mature algorithms, such as a four-connected domain (see whether four adjacent pixels of a certain pixel are also projection regions without obstacles, if yes, the four adjacent pixels are added into the connected domain, and so on) and an eight-connected domain (similar), and finally the position and the area of the connected domain in the projection region in the image can be obtained. In addition, since the projection area may be occupied by some small objects, the projection area may be divided into a plurality of connected domains.
S105: determining whether the robot can enter the elevator or not according to the connected domain area, the preset projection area and the area judgment rule, and if so, controlling the robot to enter the elevator; the preset projection area is the area occupied by the robot when entering the elevator.
In this embodiment, the area of the area that the robot needs to occupy to enter the elevator may be the area of a circular area, the area of a triangular area, the area of a quadrilateral area, the area of a pentagonal area, or the area of another polygonal area. The area judgment rule is as follows: (1) calculating to obtain a difference value between the connected domain area and the preset projection area; (2) judging whether the difference value is larger than a preset difference threshold value, if so, judging that a person or an object occupies the projection area, namely, the robot cannot enter the elevator, if not, namely, the difference value is smaller than or equal to the preset difference threshold value, judging that the robot can enter the elevator, acquiring prompt voice for playing so as to facilitate surrounding passengers to pay attention to avoiding, and when the robot arrives at the projection area and stops, sending a request for closing the elevator door to the central server so as to facilitate the central server to instruct the elevator taking controller to control the elevator door to be closed according to the request for closing the elevator door.
Optionally, in step S104, in order to quickly determine whether there is enough space in the elevator to accommodate the robot and reduce the calculation amount, only the projection area is calculated to obtain the space accommodation condition, so that whether a person blocks the robot from entering the elevator can be accurately and efficiently calculated, and the result can be fed back to the robot in real time, thereby improving the efficiency of the robot in determining whether the robot enters the elevator. Namely, when the position of the projection area is determined, calculating the characteristic value of the projection area; determining feature points with feature values larger than or equal to preset feature values in the projection area according to a preset feature classifier and the feature values; and judging whether the projection area has an obstacle or not according to the characteristic points, if so, determining a communication area of the projection area with the obstacle according to the projection area without the obstacle and the projection area with the obstacle, and calculating to obtain the area of the communication area.
The image feature value of the projection area can be calculated based on a Scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm to obtain feature distribution of the image of the projection area, and an SVM (Support Vector Machine) algorithm is used as a classifier to classify the obstacle feature and the elevator feature in the projection area to judge whether an object occupies the projection area. For the SIFT algorithm and the SVM algorithm, reference may be made to related contents in the prior art, and details are not described herein.
In one embodiment, when the robot confirms that the area of the connected domain is smaller than the preset projection area according to the acquired image of the projection area, namely, if the elevator can not be entered, the projection information of the projection area is switched and the avoidance information is output, and after waiting for a first preset time, acquiring a second image containing the projection area again, detecting and confirming the position of the projection area in the second image again, detecting a connected domain in the projection area according to the determined position of the projection area, and calculating to obtain the area of the connected domain, judging whether the elevator can be accessed according to the area of the connected domain, the preset projection area and the preset judgment rule, and when the difference value between the area of the connected domain and the preset projection area is larger than a preset difference threshold value, judging that the elevator entrance application is withdrawn, and sending an instruction signal to close the elevator door.
The projection information may be a color or a pattern of the projection area, and the avoidance information may be voice information or video information. For example, when the projection area is occupied by a person, the color of the projection area is switched, for example, a green projection area is switched to a red projection area, and a similar voice playing reminder such as "you are good and please get a night" is output, so that under the guidance of vision and hearing, a passenger is reminded to avoid the robot.
In one possible scenario, the calculated connected component area is smaller than the preset projection area due to the fact that the projection area is occupied possibly by some small objects, so that it is determined that the projection area is occupied, the elevator is not enough to ride the robot, and therefore the objects in the projection area need to be confirmed again.
For example, another embodiment of the present application provides a robot elevator-taking method, which mainly relates to a process of reconfirming an object occupying the projection area. The method comprises the following steps:
when the difference value between the connected domain area and the preset projection area is larger than the preset difference threshold value, performing texture feature detection on the projection area;
judging whether the barrier occupying the partial area in the projection area is an object with the volume smaller than a first preset volume or not according to the texture feature detection result;
and if so, controlling the robot to enter the elevator, otherwise, withdrawing the elevator entering application, and sending a command signal to close the elevator door.
In the embodiment, an edge extraction algorithm is adopted for texture feature detection, an area with texture feature intensity larger than a preset texture feature threshold value is determined as an object area, the area of the object area is calculated, namely the area occupied by an object with volume smaller than a first preset volume is calculated, so that a new connected domain area is calculated according to the area of the object area and the prior connected domain area, the difference operation is carried out on the new connected domain area and the preset projection area, whether the calculated difference value is larger than a preset difference threshold value or not is determined, if not, the obstacle is a small object, the robot can be controlled to enter the elevator, otherwise, the robot withdraws the elevator taking request of the robot and sends a command signal to an elevator taking controller of the elevator, the elevator door is controlled to be closed by the elevator taking controller, so that the robot is prevented from waiting for the avoidance of passengers, wasting time for the passenger.
In an embodiment, there may be a scenario where a passenger in the elevator needs to take the elevator to go to its destination floor urgently, and after the robot triggers the projection device to project the projection area on the ground of the elevator and plays the avoidance reminder, the passenger still urgently acts on the button of the elevator, for example, continuously acts on the door closing button of the elevator or the button of a certain floor within 5s to 10s, and if the robot continues to take the elevator, the passenger may be delayed.
To this end, another exemplary embodiment of the present application provides a method for a robot to take a ride, which mainly involves detecting that passengers are eagerly using an elevator for the robot, thereby abandoning the ride process. The method comprises the following steps:
and acquiring the frequency information of the response requests of the elevator.
And when the frequency information is greater than the preset frequency, acquiring the time point of the response request.
And determining the longest time interval between the response requests according to the time points, judging whether the longest time interval is less than or equal to second preset time, if so, judging that the elevator entrance application is withdrawn, and sending an instruction signal to close the elevator door.
In this embodiment, the robot detects in real time a key response received from the elevator controller after sending an elevator taking request to the elevator taking control until the elevator taking is successful, for example, obtains an elevator key response value from the elevator taking controller, where the response value may be used to identify the number of times of response requests of the elevator, and multiple key responses occur within the second preset time, and the response value is greater than a preset response value, that is, when the number information is greater than the preset number of times, the shortest time interval and the longest time interval between multiple response requests are calculated according to the time point of occurrence of each response request, so as to determine whether the longest time interval is less than or equal to the second preset time, if so, it indicates that the user is eagerly using the elevator and multiple acting on the keys of the elevator within a short time, in order to avoid wasting the elevator taking time of passengers, the robot sends an elevator withdrawing and entering application to the elevator taking controller, so that the elevator withdrawing and entering application is withdrawn, and sends a command signal to close the elevator.
In another embodiment, when the robot calculates and confirms whether an occupied object exists in the projection area, the object exists in the projection area, and the object still occupies the projection area within a preset second time, it is determined that passengers in the elevator use the elevator urgently, so that the passengers do not leave the projection area.
In one embodiment, the robot may shake during traveling, so that the image projected by the projection device is shaken, passengers in the elevator may feel visual vertigo when viewing the projection area, and the image may shake to greatly increase difficulty of image processing.
For this reason, the example, this application projection arrangement passes through the cloud platform and fixes and locate on the robot to in order to adjust projection arrangement's projection angle, and weaken the robot course of motion and to the influence in projection district, avoid the projection district also to shake along with the shake of robot promptly, guarantee that the robot can not influence the quality of projection and the quality of gathering the image because of shaking in the course of motion. Therefore, in the process of the robot moving, the projection angle of the projection device is adjusted according to the moving state information of the robot, so that the position of the projection area is kept in the initial projection area. The travel state information includes acceleration, angular velocity, shake amplitude, distance from the projection area, and the like of the robot.
In addition, in order to confirm whether the projection area is occupied by passengers in real time, the image including the projection area is acquired in real time during the traveling and elevator-taking process of the robot, and whether the projection area is changed or not is confirmed.
In one embodiment, a possible implementation manner is that the robot does not detect the connected domain in the projection area and calculate the area of the connected domain, but determines whether the outline of the projection area is deformed, thereby determining whether the projection area is occupied by an object or a person, and further determines whether there is enough space in the elevator to accommodate the robot.
In an example, another embodiment of the present application provides a robot elevator-taking method, which mainly involves a process of determining whether an outline of the projection area is deformed. The method comprises the following steps:
when the elevator door is opened, triggering a projection device to project a visible projection area to the ground in the elevator;
acquiring a first image containing the projection area;
detecting and confirming the position of the projection area in the first image;
detecting the outline of the projection area according to the determined position of the projection area, and calculating to obtain a length value of the outline; the length value of the contour is the length value of the contour of the projection area which is not occupied by the obstacle in the projection area;
determining whether the robot can enter the elevator or not according to the length value, a preset length value and a length judgment rule, and if so, controlling the robot to enter the elevator; the preset length value is the length value of the contour of the area which needs to be occupied when the robot enters the elevator.
In this embodiment, the length determination rule is: (1) calculating to obtain the difference value between the length value and the length value; (2) and judging whether the difference value is greater than a preset difference threshold value of the outline or not, if so, judging that a person or an object occupies the projection area, namely, the robot cannot enter the elevator, and if not, namely, the difference value is less than or equal to the preset difference threshold value, judging that the robot can enter the elevator and acquiring prompt voice for playing so as to bring convenience to surrounding passengers to pay attention to avoiding.
In one embodiment, the robot sends a ride request to the central server before detecting whether the elevator doors are open, thereby triggering a projection device to project a visible projection area onto the ground within the elevator. The elevator taking request comprises information of the floor where the robot is located currently and information of the floor to be moved to.
It should be understood that, the sequence numbers of the steps in the foregoing embodiments do not imply an execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
